  1. For me, it's try and win every match, strengthen the side again in january, get a winnining habit and see where it takes us. The long term solution is promotion as soon as possible, build the strongest team possible, and take everything we can on the way.
  2. Canada Saint is in Edmonton, Alberta.
  3. 1) poor team at home, 2) better team at home, 3)Man Utd (75000) or Arsenal (60000) away, 4) any televised game.
  4. Alan Pardew said the same on the OS tonight.
  5. Always the same ones. The lady behind me goes at the half time whistle and is back with the drinks (not the bar), inside 5 mins, so it can't be the queuing. One chap and his young son behind us come in after 5 minutes at the start and halftime, never on time.
  6. I thought it was obvious, agreeing.
  7. FFS it's a no brainer.

    Read my post on here, he addressed my criticisms both against Norwich and Hartlepool. Obviously Pardew sorted the lack of tracking back when necessary. Players can't just play off the cuff all the time and he has proved that being more disciplined hasn't detracted from his performance, but has enhanced it.
  9. I think full season loans don't allow recall.
  10. He had a game or two for Mid Hant's schools but didn't shine. Played for Corinthians, then Winchester City made his Saints debut a few days before his 18th birthday on 16th March 1957 v Brentford.
  11. Yes.
  12. Are you his girlfriend? You obviously know him well because you are repeating what David Lallana had said previously and only omitted the bit about not moving and wanting to play at least 40 first team games this year. I know you aren't David Lallana as he has said he doesn't post on here.
  13. "If you give him permission to play we won't pick him, then his suspension can be covered if he gets the yellow card we expect in the next game."

    No he is not, after the Brighton game his indiscipline was obviously an issue and was sorted because he was excellent against Norwich, tracking back when needed. It didn't inhibit his attacking side in the least but made us better for it.
  15. Solent retracted that when they realised he is not allowed to play in the FA cup. It seems certain he will miss the Wycombe game next Tuesday.
  16. He did well at Barnsley and OK in JPT and tonight.
  17. JH in hospital with appendicitis, Addie's wife diagnosed with ovarian cancer with some spread. Good win tonight sounds like Lallana the only one playing. He seems to have been motivated by the criticism from the Brighton game. Davis, torn groin out until the new year.
  18. That's what I thought. PCC had to find £20m and voted 24 -13 against bidding.
  19. At a meeting today the city council took the decision that Portsmouth would not bid for games in the world cup. Bearing in mind the previous announcement could it be that the club/city council would now be in a position to step in. I think there is a deadline for the application.
  20. FFS its simple, they went up scheduled yesterday, two nights in hotel and flying back scheduled on Wednesday. Where on earth do you think they are going Pyongyang, it's only Newcastle. Tired, Stress, hanging around in four star hotels and a bit of training, if they don't put in a performance after that sort of pampering they need sorting.
  21. Hour approximately in the air Mon, hotel Mon and Tuesday nights, fly back Wed hardly a long difficult trip for the staff. It's the supporters that have the long difficult trip.
  22. No. He knocks the ball down or palms it out if there is any pace at all on the shot. He doesn't catch shots unless they are low pace.
  23. We matched Norwich's diamond but lost our width, as they have been playing that way for a while they were able to play into the space we left on the flanks and pulled us around a bit with their pass and move. Our goal wasn't down to tactics or shape it was a player out wide coming inside and brilliantly shooting over the goalkeeper from long range. We took our pacy player off and went narrow so we didn't play on the break. Antonio should have been replaced by Waigo and the 4-4-2 continued. Murty could have replaced James at half time. Neither of their goals were quality, the penalty was pure stupidity on a greasy surface and Davis bats the ball out far too often for forwards to capitalise. I'm sure forwards are instructed to follow the ball in as there is a decent chance of it bouncing off him as he never catches shots.
  24. I think you may be close.
  25. Trotman and Mellis not allowed to play, Thompson at Torquay on loan and I think already cup tied. Play the best team available get to the third round and hope to get a big club away or a poor side at home and bring in some money.
